Force formatting

Jalopy can keep track of which files have been formatted previously (Refer to the section called "History" for more information about this feature). If the history is enabled, Jalopy won't format files that have not changed since the last formatting. However, you can disable this check to force a reformat. For example, you might need to update the copyright notice for the whole code base. Enabling this switch ensures that all source files are always formatted.

Test formatting

When enabled, formatting output is not written to disk and/or opened editors are not updated. This may be worthwile when you want to determine what files cause warnings or errors during formatting. This way Jalopy can be used somewhat similar to a coding style checker (see the section called "Code Inspector" for the available style checks).

Refer to the section called "Logging" for more information about the possible logging options.

This option is mostly useful for batch mode processing, therefore it can be enabled from the Console, Ant or Maven Plug-ins directly, and should be normally left disabled here.

Since 1.0

Insert trailing newline

If enabled, Jalopy inserts an empty line at the end of every file. This may help to avoid problems with certain text formatters and processors.

Note that Jalopy always inserts at least one empty line after footers, so there is no real need (but it doesn't hurt) to check the mark in case footers are used. See the section called "Footer" for more information on footers.
